First Person Arts StorySlam: Ghosted
First Person Arts StorySlam: Ghosted
When’s the last time you were Ghosted by a friend, a lover, a family member, a partner, a parent, or an employer?
Or are you the ghost who disappears into thin air?
Celebrate spooky season in Philly with First Person Arts and share your haunting stories about being Ghosted–or being the ghost! Tell us about those unread messages, the feelings left unrequited, the relationships that just faded away.
Join First Person Arts’ own Che Guerrero as he hosts Philly’s original (and best!) storytelling competition. Our scorekeeper Lamarr Todd, Emily Epstein White, local celebrity guest judges, and an audience judge will score the stories and give our storytellers helpful hints on how to improve their tales. The winner takes home $100 and bragging rights until next month.
Come to World Cafe Live on 10/8 for a fun-filled night with stories told by you–our audience–live on stage. The show starts at 7:30 pm. Tickets are $15.
Already got an idea brewing and want a guaranteed spot on stage? Pitch us your story at stories@firstpersonarts.org. Please limit your pitch to no more than 100 words.
We choose 4 lucky featured storytellers about two weeks before the show. Each storyteller gets a complimentary 30-minute story coaching session with our expert storytelling coaches. The remaining 3 slots are up to fate on the night of the StorySlam.
Never been to a First Person Arts StorySlam storytelling competition before? No problem. First Person Arts StorySlams are like open mic nights for people who love stories. We provide a theme, and you provide a 100% true, personal story. You’ve got 5 minutes on stage to entertain the “most engaged audience in Philly.” No notes or props allowed.
